Do not understand any of these trade scenarios.
Noah is a TOXIC CONTRACT. The last two years of that contract will be an anchor around the neck of any franchise, even with the cap to go up.
To move Noah, the Knicks need to move a POSITIVE ASSET to compensate for the drawbacks of Noah's contract on another team.
Noah is, at best, a salary dump. This is not the case of moving a useful player near the end with a reasonable contract and contract length.
THIS IS A TOXIC CONTRACT. No team will touch it unless the Knicks offer assets to take the Noah problem off their hands. Most of you are not looking at the last two years of his deal. No team wants it, not to give a positive asset themselves for it.
The same reason Knicks fans want Noah out, is the same reason other teams don't want him in - It works both ways.
